nature_n be_v of_o that_o make_v that_o two_o thing_n at_o once_o can_v well_o possess_v our_o mind_n and_o therefore_o if_o we_o be_v intent_n about_o one_o thing_n we_o can_v have_v much_o room_n or_o leisure_n for_o thought_n of_o another_o nature_n but_o than_o five_o and_o last_o though_o this_o that_o i_o have_v say_v be_v the_o true_a nature_n of_o that_o power_n we_o have_v over_o our_o thought_n as_o to_o the_o direct_v they_o to_o a_o particular_a object_n yet_o there_o be_v another_o power_n we_o have_v over_o they_o that_o ought_v here_o more_o especial_o to_o be_v consider_v because_o in_o it_o be_v lay_v the_o very_a foundation_n of_o virtue_n and_o vice_n and_o upon_o account_n of_o it_o all_o our_o thought_n become_v either_o moral_o good_a or_o evil_n that_o which_o i_o mean_v be_v this_o though_o we_o can_v in_o many_o case_n think_v always_o of_o what_o we_o will_v nay_o though_o we_o can_v hinder_v abundance_n of_o thought_n from_o come_v into_o our_o mind_n against_o our_o will_n yet_o it_o be_v always_o in_o our_o power_n to_o assent_v to_o our_o thought_n or_o to_o deny_v our_o consent_n to_o they_o and_o here_o it_o be_v that_o the_o morality_n of_o our_o thought_n begin_v according_a as_o we_o assent_v or_o dissent_n to_o the_o motion_n that_o be_v make_v in_o our_o mind_n so_o will_v our_o thought_n have_v the_o notion_n of_o virtuous_a or_o sinful_a thought_n when_o any_o temptation_n be_v present_v to_o we_o from_o without_o we_o can_v perhaps_o as_o i_o say_v before_o avoid_v the_o feel_n a_o irregular_a passion_n or_o motion_n or_o inclination_n stir_v within_o we_o upon_o occasion_n thereof_o but_o yet_o at_o that_o very-time_n it_o be_v in_o our_o power_n whether_o we_o will_v comply_v with_o those_o passion_n and_o inclination_n or_o not_o whether_o we_o will_v consent_v to_o they_o or_o not_o whether_o we_o will_v pursue_v they_o further_o or_o not_o now_o if_o we_o do_v not_o consent_v to_o they_o but_o endeavour_v to_o stop_v and_o stifle_v and_o resist_v they_o as_o soon_o as_o we_o be_v aware_a of_o they_o there_o be_v yet_o no_o harm_n do_v our_o thought_n how_o undecent_a or_o irregular_a soever_o they_o be_v be_v rather_o to_o be_v account_v the_o infirmity_n of_o our_o corrupt_a nature_n than_o our_o sin_n proper_o so_o call_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v likewise_o as_o to_o our_o wander_v thought_n in_o our_o prayer_n if_o we_o strive_v against_o they_o and_o endeavour_v to_o keep_v our_o mind_n in_o a_o devout_a compose_a temper_n and_o attend_v as_o well_o as_o we_o can_v to_o the_o duty_n we_o be_v about_o i_o say_v if_o we_o do_v this_o i_o hope_v those_o distraction_n and_o wander_n will_v never_o rise_v up_o in_o judgement_n against_o we_o and_o as_o for_o the_o frightful_a blasphemous_a fancy_n which_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o some_z even_o pious_a person_n be_v torment_v with_o as_o to_o they_o i_o say_v they_o of_o all_o other_o irregular_a thought_n have_v the_o least_o danger_n of_o sin_n in_o they_o though_o they_o be_v not_o so_o solemn_o and_o formal_o dispute_v with_o and_o contest_v against_o because_o indeed_o they_o be_v so_o terrible_a in_o their_o own_o nature_n that_o no_o man_n in_o his_o wit_n and_o that_o have_v any_o sense_n of_o god_n or_o goodness_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o consent_v to_o they_o they_o be_v indeed_o great_a infeticity_n but_o by_o no_o mean_n any_o sin_n any_o far_a than_o we_o approve_v of_o they_o and_o to_o approve_v of_o they_o for_o any_o tolerable_o good_a man_n be_v impossible_a but_o then_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o we_o consent_v to_o any_o wicked_a motion_n or_o inclination_n that_o we_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o let_v it_o come_v in_o how_o it_o will_v never_o so_o sudden_o never_o so_o unexpected_o if_o we_o close_v with_o any_o thought_n that_o prompt_v we_o to_o evil_a so_o as_o to_o be_v please_v with_o it_o to_o delight_v in_o it_o to_o think_v of_o pursue_v it_o till_o it_o be_v bring_v into_o action_n in_o that_o case_n we_o be_v no_o long_o to_o plead_v our_o original_a corruption_n for_o in_o that_o very_a instant_n we_o become_v actual_a sinner_n actual_a transgressor_n of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n the_o obligation_n of_o which_o reach_v to_o our_o very_a heart_n and_o thought_n as_o well_o as_o our_o action_n though_o yet_o we_o be_v not_o so_o great_a transgressor_n so_o long_o as_o our_o sin_n be_v only_o in_o thought_n or_o desire_v or_o purpose_n as_o if_o it_o have_v proceed_v to_o outward_a action_n all_o this_o be_v teach_v we_o for_o true_a divinity_n by_o no_o less_o a_o author_n than_o st._n james_n in_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o his_o epistle_n v_o 13_o 14_o 15._o let_v no_o man_n say_v when_o he_o be_v tempt_v i_o be_o tempt_v of_o god_n for_o god_n tempt_v no_o man_n but_o every_o man_n be_v tempt_v when_o he_o be_v draw_v away_o of_o his_o own_o lust_n and_o entice_v then_o when_o lust_n have_v conceive_v it_o bring_v forth_o sin_n and_o sin_n when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n which_o passage_n of_o the_o apostle_n do_v plain_o contain_v these_o three_o proposition_n first_o that_o no_o man_n be_v draw_v to_o commit_v sin_n by_o any_o state_n or_o condition_n that_o god_n have_v put_v he_o into_o no_o nor_o by_o any_o temptation_n either_o outward_a or_o inward_a that_o be_v present_v to_o he_o it_o be_v not_o a_o sin_n to_o be_v tempt_v no_o nor_o to_o feel_v that_o we_o be_v tempt_v by_o some_o disorderly_a inclination_n that_o arise_v in_o our_o mind_n thereupon_o but_o second_o than_o our_o sin_n begin_v when_o we_o yield_v to_o the_o temptation_n when_o we_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o our_o own_o lust_n and_o entice_v when_o they_o get_v the_o victory_n over_o we_o and_o we_o do_v consent_n to_o they_o then_o lust_n have_v conceive_v and_o bring_v forth_o sin_n but_o three_o though_o the_o very_a consent_n of_o our_o will_n to_o a_o temptation_n be_v a_o sin_n in_o we_o yet_o that_o sin_n be_v not_o so_o great_a as_o it_o will_v be_v afterward_o if_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o action_n sin_n in_o the_o desire_n or_o purpose_n be_v but_o a_o embryo_n it_o be_v but_o the_o first_o rudiment_n of_o sin_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v act_v it_o be_v then_o a_o sin_n in_o its_o full_a dimension_n and_o the_o consequent_n of_o it_o may_v be_v fatal_a without_o repentance_n sin_z when_o it_o be_v finish_v bring_v forth_o death_n have_v thus_o give_v some_o account_n how_o far_o our_o heart_n or_o thought_n do_v fall_v under_o government_n i_o now_o come_v to_o my_o second_o point_n that_o be_v to_o treat_v of_o the_o art_n of_o govern_v they_o or_o to_o lay_v down_o the_o necessary_a rule_n and_o direction_n which_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v in_o order_n thereunto_o and_o we_o shall_v not_o need_v to_o go_v far_o for_o these_o rule_n for_o they_o will_v all_o natural_o flow_v from_o the_o principle_n i_o have_v already_o lay_v down_o and_o i_o think_v they_o may_v convenient_o enough_o be_v reduce_v likewise_o to_o these_o five_o follow_v first_o from_o what_o have_v be_v say_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o first_o and_o great_a point_n to_o be_v do_v by_o we_o if_o we_o will_v keep_v our_o heart_n in_o a_o good_a frame_n and_o order_v our_o thought_n to_o good_a purpose_n be_v that_o we_o right_o pitch_v our_o main_a design_n that_o we_o choose_v that_o for_o the_o great_a business_n of_o our_o life_n that_o real_o aught_o to_o be_v so_o now_o what_o that_o be_v can_v bear_v no_o dispute_n with_o any_o man_n that_o will_v fair_o use_v his_o reason_n for_o certain_o that_o which_o be_v our_o great_a concernment_n in_o the_o world_n aught_o to_o be_v our_o great_a business_n and_o design_n in_o the_o world_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a to_o every_o one_o that_o believe_v he_o have_v a_o soul_n to_o save_v that_o his_o great_a concernment_n of_o all_o be_v to_o approve_v himself_o to_o that_o god_n who_o make_v he_o and_o dispose_v of_o all_o his_o affair_n and_o who_o according_o as_o we_o sincere_o endeavour_v or_o not_o endeavour_v to_o serve_v he_o will_v make_v we_o either_o very_a happy_a or_o very_o miserable_a both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o the_o other_o so_o that_o there_o can_v as_o i_o say_v be_v no_o dispute_n about_o what_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o great_a business_n and_o design_n of_o our_o whole_a life_n and_o to_o which_o all_o other_o business_n must_v yield_v now_o if_o we_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o real_o to_o propose_v this_o as_o our_o main_a end_n and_o resolve_v to_o mind_v it_o and_o follow_v it_o as_o such_o i_o say_v if_o we_o be_v so_o wise_a as_o to_o do_v this_o we_o have_v make_v a_o very_a great_a step_n towards_o the_o
